dark haired girl who has for nearly

place in the physical features of the
town in the structure and appointF

the customs and usages of the popu-

management of the school itself, and
yet it retains its hign position and
rank for thorough instruction and
wholesome moral training. Salem
has an enchantment for the young
ladies educated in the old academy.

his shoes put d decided stop to the
idea of even a single days more

on this, our last. It was stage day,

\ new South All, yes indeed
let us have 4 new South but for
the sake of humanity, let us not
model it after the selfish phariseeisn
of the New England pattern. To
accept the results of the war in good
faith and bow to the inevitable with
dignity, is right; to do all we can
to repair its evils, to rebuild our
fortunes, accommodate ourselves to
the changed condition of affairs, and
do our part toward restoring harmo-
ny between brethren estranged and
embittered, is our obvious policy as
well as christian duty. If this be
the meaning Of the term New South,
then | have no objection to its use
But if, as seems to be the under
standing, we be required to forget
the political wisdom Of our sages, to
repudiate our reverence for the Con-
stitution of our country, to forego
the traditions Of chivaIry and honor
which we have been taught, to adopt
the vitiated, northern morality,
which regards the almighty dollar
as the chief end of man, suspends at
pleasure the ten commandments,
treats the institution Of marriage as
of the same binding force and sacred
character as a contract for the sale
of personal property, to be set aside
when convenient. In other words,
if we are to accept their entire civil
ization, manners and customs and
convert ourselves into community
of shop-keepers, hammerers and
traders, to "build towns instead of
maintaining great theories" to exer-
else and utilize the moral, thc--I
want nothing OF the New South, and
least Of all CT the Southern man who
is in love with it.

North Carolina Fruit.


Notwithstanding the shortness of
the peach crop Mr.. j. Van Lindley
has reaped better revenue from his
peaches this year than he did last
year, realizing in one week $4,000 on
peaches shipped to Richmond, and
obtaining for crates 50 to $3.50, for
which the price obtained last year was
so to 65 cents. For wild goose plums,
s pound baskets, the price obtained
is 81 to $1.25. Mr.. Lindley's plan is
to have all defective fruit picked up
and the worms destroyed as soon after
the fruit falls as possible, because if
the worms be permitted to take refuge
in the ground they multiply for future
depredations. By the care thus early
and promptly bestowed Mr.. Lindley
is enabled to ohavea greater abundance
of fruit than any other grower of his
section.

AN AFTERNOON DRIVE.

After refreshment and little
rest, through the kindness of "mire

ure of drive throug the wonder
fully thrifty and growing town of
Winston. What was woods and
cultivated fields only few years
ago is now the seat Of prosperous
town, with its graded streets, large
warehouses, hotels, elegant school
uildings, fine churches, and beauti-
ful residences surrounded with taste
full grounds. After a few turns,
calling here and there, we stopped
at the parsonage of the pastor of the
new Methodist Church. Through
the courtesy of the Rev. DR.. Burk-
head we were shown through the
church. The external architectural
presentation of the building is i'm
posing. 1t has the elevation, design
and workmanship that combine with
its lofty tower and steeple, and with
the extent of space occupied by the
edifice as whole, in giving to it a
decidedly fine effect. The interior
arrangements, including the lecture
room, with its adaptations to Sunday
School purposes, together with the
spacious auditorium, with its conven-
lent portals of entrance, spacious
aisles, pulpit, furniture, ETC., are all
in good proportion, and above any,
thing less than captious criticism.

ton, delivered an address upon "The

our cause, eulogized our leaders and
people, placed the blame upon the
North, and in all respects, talked to
that Boston audience pretty much as
l do here at home. was applauded
to the echo. On my return, l was ex-
pressing to Senator Dawes, OF that
State, my surprise and qualification ar
this reception of my speech, "Of
course they were pleased" said he,
"our people have no more use for a
sneak than yours" And he spoke
truly. All noble natures love candor,
and all natures, noble or otherwise, re-
spect it. He who acts upon differ
ent supposition makes grievous mis-
take. RENEGADEs.
But whilst there have been some
who have thus abased themselves and
brought disgrace upon their country
and its noble sons, l am happy to
know that the great body of the South
ern people have been true to their
honest and manly instincts, and have
felt no shame, either in doing honor to
the memory of the soldiers of that
war, or in vindicating the principles
ior which it was waged. Especially is
it a glorious truth that there has been
lso abjectness among our Southern wo-
men. Thanks be to God who has so
formed the female heart to the honor
ing of courage and manhood, and so
imbued it with the spirit of constancy
to the objects of its love! 1t is every
where acknowledged that the pure
teaching and example of woman are

cause of our not falling abjectly into
the pit of ESTABLISHMENT which the
spirit of prudential greedy cowardice
had dug for us.
The day of complete. vindication
and absolute freedom from the duress
Of circumstances is rapidly approach

with all which that means, is dwelling

Military Display--Immense Crowd.
The Chronicle gives its readers a
cut of the memorial shaft unveiled
in Charlotte on June 31st, together
with a full report of proceedings.
We take the liberty to condense from
its excellent report.
The monument was unveiled with
appropriate ceremonies, under a pro-
gramme arranged by the ladies of
the Memorial Association, and the
ceremonies were witnessed by per-
haps the largest throng of people
ever assembled in Elmwood. The
procession was formed in the yard
of the First Presbyterian church,
at five o'clock, p. M, by Captain
Harrison Watts and his aides, and
took up the march to the cemetery.
Leading the procession was the
noble company of veterans, some
with one leg, others with one arm,
others with an eye gone, and nearly
all bearing the marks of well fought
battles. Each veteran wore badge
Of mourning on the left arm, and in
half a dozen cases the badges,
through force Of circumstances, were
pinned to empty sleeves. Gen.
Thos. F. Drayton, who had been Sc
lected to lead the veterans, was con-
fined to his bed by sickness, and
Brigadier-General Rufus Barringer
was assigned to the command.

object that wore a familiar face.
There was no trace of "Clemmon's

ton days; nothing to remind me of
"Dobson's Cross Roads; no sign of
the road to "Gordon's MILL" on
Deep river" A thousand memories
stirred my mind and heart, but not
a solitary object met my inquiring
eye, as | peered through the window
of the flying car, that was any more
familiar to me than the ordinary
succession objects on the line of rail
road through any of the adjoining
States, having a similar topography.
